Kit Fox - Are you sure that Mobil 1 synthetic was used last oil change?

Oil emulsion is common with cold weather and dino oils.

 

Not sure, it has a Mobile 1 0-w40 next to the cap that the dealer said they changed it out and the oil itself looks still fairly clean. Since it was just changed right before I bought the car I figured I'd change it again right after the end of winter at the change of seasons. I don't do the full 7,000 miles a year so I plan on changing it after and before winter.

 

What do you mean by short distances, I literaly drive 3 miles to work it takes me less then 7 minutes to get there usually. half a mile down 25mph road, a mile down 45mph road, half a mile down traffiky 35mph road. and a mile down the highway 55mph.

 

Check that the engine crankcase breather is not blocked. The breather may have a small filter or one-way valve wichm might be blocked -allthough unusual, its posible that it can be gunged up. Im not sure which side of the engine the breather is, I ll check it out from the manual and come back.
good lick

ive seen it in aircraft engines to that during the winter when they dont get real hot

 

who are you again? whats up with this guy lol

 

^^^ Some guy who got bashed and now he is upset. Go to his profile and just put him on your ignore list, Admins have been notified and will ban him ASAP.

I looked in the service manual and there is nothing under "Crankcase breather" which section would I look in to find it?

 

Kitfox - I'm a mile from work, a mile from shopping, very short treks. Some times if I get out of the house early I go the long way. That is about a two and a half mile trek at 45-50 mph.

I have many vehicles and that is condensation, if you had water in the oil it would look milky.
I have been working on a low restriction oil catch can for the intake and after some 400 miles , I had a bunch of watery goo. Remember that this can is between the valve cover vents and the intake of the supercharger. I t is intended to clear the fumes of oily vapor to keep the S/C and intake passages free from oil due to the crankcase ventilation operation. ENJOY

Hydrocarbons and blow-by do this, W DY

 

After a few longer rides and Autocross (needle nudged over halfway a few times) it looks like its all gone.
